Collaborative visuals of Golden Kamuy and Man With a Mission have been printed on the cover of Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump in the past. The group’s Jean-Ken Johnny commented: ‘[This is] a work we’ve been reading, so I felt joy and enthusiasm! We’d be happy if we could become a partner with similar strength to the wolf Retar.’

Electronic group The Sixth Lie is going to produce the ending. The members said: ‘As the staff’s enthusiasm for the animation and their commitment are being conveyed, we were thinking of how we should write a song that fits with the world of the anime. The members read the original manga, immersed ourselves in that feeling and faced the song’s production.’

Golden Kamuy is set in the Meiji era in Hokkaido, which was undergoing a gold rush. ’Sugimoto the Immortal’, a demobilized soldier, is aiming to find the great treasure that was left behind by the native Ainu people. Together with an Ainu girl named Asirpa, he is looking for the treasure. The manga is being serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump and the anime is to start from April.

Comment from Jean-Ken Johnny (Man With a Mission)

‘We once did a collaboration for the cover of Young Jump, but this time we were asked to create the anime’s theme song for a work we’ve been reading, so I felt joy and enthusiasm! We’d be happy if we could become a partner with similar strength to the wolf Retar.’

Comment from The Sixth Lie

‘We are The Sixth Lie who have been asked to produce the ending theme for TV anime Golden Kamuy.

As the staff’s enthusiasm for the animation and their commitment are being conveyed, we were thinking of how we should write a song that fits with the world of the anime, so the members read the original manga, immersed ourselves in that feeling and faced the song’s production.

We would be happy if it is a song that meets the expectations of all the fans, who will start to watch the anime soon.’
